My 855 Nuvi has one. I never saw an external antenna to order from Garmin though.

In the event...

In the event that a full list can't be found, let me add that my nuvi 855 has a jack.

A Google search for which nuvi has a GPS antenna jack also bring up additional devices.

Ah, click here, then when at the page, click "Compatible Devices:"

https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/shop-by-accessories/antennas...

It looks like the list includes most/all StreetPilots and many zumo devices, plus the following nuvi series: 3x0, 5000, 6x0, 7x0, 7x5, 8x0, 8x5. If the Garmin compatibility list is correct (and why would we think it could be wrong rolleyes ), then for the nuvi line the last with jacks were introduced in early 2009 with the 8x5 series.

wow

how much is it

External A

My 750 and my 855 both had them. They worked great. I mainly used them on Amtrak out west. Going through narrow steep canyons in the mountains. Without the external antenna there would be gaps in recording the tracks. With the external antenna I got complete tracks for all my Amtrak trips. I got complete tracks for the Chicago to Portland OR, Chicago to Sacramento CA, Chicago to Los Angeles, Los Angeles to Vancouver Canada and Vancouver Canada to Toronto Canada. Loved the external antenna,

My 760 has a headphone jock just above the SD card slot but there is no external antenna jack that I can find. The antenna on a 760 is built into the back of the unit.

UPDATE - sorry I just found it in the lower corner on the back of the unit.

I think the last unit that had the external antenna jack was the nuvi 8x5 series.
